Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Harkaway (postcode 3806), a picturesque rural locality within the City of Casey, about 45km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Harkaway and neighbouring Narre Warren South, Berwick, Beaconsfield and Clyde North, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Harkaway is a semi-rural locality of considerable historical and natural distinction, nestled within the undulating hills and escarpments south of Berwick where the basalt plains give way to more varied topography along the edge of the South Gippsland Hwy corridor. The locality is notable for its role in Australian literary history — Harkaway gave its name to the 1890s bushranging novel “Harkaway Jack,” one of the many popular serialised stories that drew on the character of Melbourne’s rural frontier. Today Harkaway is best known for its equestrian properties, hobby farms and the remarkable Harkaway Hills estate landscape, with expansive views from its elevated position across the outer south-east and on clear days toward the bay. The Cardinia Creek corridor and Cranbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens are both within reach, and Berwick’s heritage village centre provides the nearest major retail and professional services hub.
